pics not too great but they wont keep still! reason i ask is that the 1 in the right hand pic chases and bullies the 1 in the left hand pic. bought both fish at thge same time from the same tank in the same shop. both were identical in size colour etc. the 1 doing all the chasing is much larger and as you can see is colouring up nicely but the other isnt.... i assume through stress

Theyare both male. Remove the stressed one, and get a female, or leave him by himself.
